Hey guys....I recently bought a 2004 ZRX1200R , Yesterday riding home I noticed changing up was a lot more clunkey than normal and that the bike was lerching forward when I put it into first , so when I got home there was a burning smell from the clutch , so today I took the clutch cover of and Inspected the clutch , the bike only has 9K on It so I was surprised to see the bluing on the steel rings , I don't know how the previous owner rode the bike , I'm a spirited rider but treat the bike with respect , what would cause the steel rings to get so hot ?

Thanks for any Input .
